War Party strIkes back

[BigBagel]

Watching This Week on ABC this morning the War Party in the guise of John McCain and Liz Cheney are striking back against the GOP presidential hopefuls for not being warlike enough. They're 'isolationists'!
Christaine Amanpour did a very poor interview with McCain in which she asked no questions about the legality of President Obama's military action in Libya. Nor did she ask why it's important to protect Libyan rebels but Syrian rebels are left to fend for themselves.

Well a mainstream interviewer isn't going to ask tough questions on influential people if they expect to have the ability to interview influential people in the future. Also it's no surprise that McCain is still a huge warmonger--people of that advanced age are pretty set in their ways, you might say.

A slight correction: neither or both parties should be considered the "War Party" if such a thing exists, especially since the Democrats hold such an enormous lead in that department thanks to Johnson. It would take another three Bush terms, or perhaps one McCain term, to even come close.

esp considering that the current THREE wars wouldnt likely even be happening if the stain on that certain little blue dress in 1998 hadnt caused the biggest disruption of the ops of the .gov since watergate.

or if maybe we had some kind of results from the 'dept of energy', another big gov FAILURE, we wouldnt even need to have a presence in the middle east - never mind of we hadnt been prevented from developing essentially every viable 'alternative' by the luddite brigade and had several hundred more nuke power stations - hey - we might even be driving electric cars by now!

imagine that....
